The fraternity was organized last Spring at the School of Education with twenty-two charter members and has rapidly grown to its present distinguished roll call of one hundred and twenty-five active members. Eligibility for membership depends upon scholastic standing in the upper quartile, the completion of twelve hours of work in' the School of Education, interest in education, and desirable social qualities. The program for the past year included two initiations, the Hrst one being held at the Hotel Albert, while the latter was held at the Hotel Lafayette. At this time forty- seven members, including Dean Withers, were ofiicially accepted. Most outstanding has been the Laurette Dinner held at the Town Hall Club, which several nationally- known educators attended, including Dr. Dewey, Dr. Thorndike, and Dr. Bagley, all of whom are members of the organization. Besides these activities, the organization pub- lishes a quarterly magazine, which is of interest to people in the educational field. 123

HeaH'h Service xx AVE you had your Health Examinationn? How many times have you been asked this question? The health workers are always ready for more people to examine, advise, and treat. In spite of a busy schedule, they have made a strenuous effort to reach every student and faculty member in Education. To meet the staff of Doctors is compensation enough for the time spent in the Health Service Ofhce. Drs. Louis I. Berg, john R. Twiss and Eilif Hanssen, are among the best consultants to be found in the city. The project is a new one. Started under the direction of Dr. S. U. Lawton in September, 1930, it has grown to a point where more room and apparatus is necessary. To meet this situation, extensive additions and improvements have been planned for the coming school year. 122
